Really well written and knows what vibes it wants to go for. Ghost story + murder mystery + secret societies = my cup of tea. Oh, and all on the Yale campus during winter - another plus.

Everyone was consistent and made choices that went hand-in-hand with their traits and beliefs.

This book must have taken a hell of a lot of research and work. I think it paid off.
Overall - 4.8 (basically a 5)
I'll write more of a review when I get around to it. Will definitely pick up the sequel.

Listen, this is an adult book that is dealing with adult topics that can get dark. It deals a lot with who is in power, who has control, and what it's like to be at the bottom of the power system. That leads to some dark stuff. I found the topics to be well handled and make sense within the themes and conversations that the book is having. However, I would recommend you take to heart the content warnings for sexual violence in particular if that is something you would like to not read. I can't say this is the book for escapism if that's what you need right now.solypoly's review against another edition
